A short walk down to the river this afternoon reminded me that we really do live in a beautiful part of the country.
Gorgeous summer days like today generally bring people out to the Fishing Bridge, even if the fish aren't biting.
Upriver the expansive clouds were even more dramatic. The thunderheads on the horizon are 50 to 60 miles away; probably floating over Grand Rapids.
Immediately behind the park a field of wildflowers stretches to fill in what was an overgrown woodlot last season.
Toward the back of this field, down in the cattails, a family of Sandhill Cranes hatched a pair of babies this summer. Within the past week, there have been sightings of adults teaching the young birds to fly from the wildflower field.
